Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income
“Compensation Actually Paid” versus Net Income and CI
Like many companies, our earnings in 2020 were significantly adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, our net income was positively impacted by strong investment gains across our investment portfolio, as well as increased rate growth, which drove increased underwriting gains. In 2022, strong performance in both P&C combined ratio and P&C underwriting premium offset decreased investment performance. In 2023, the Company had record Net Income, which included record high underwriting income and higher investment income. In each year, the CI, calculated as described herein, provided for a performance measure focused on core P&C operating results by the Company, with “compensation actually paid” generally aligning to the trend in CI in each such year, as reflected in the chart below.

Financial Performance Measures
The most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link executive “compensation actually paid” to the Company’s NEOs in 2023 to the Company’s performance are listed below.
CI
Underlying Property & Casualty Combined Ratio
Property & Casualty Underwriting Premium
As described under “Executive Compensation-Performance Measures” in this proxy statement (pages 21-23), CI is the Company performance measure which is the primary basis for determination of incentive compensation to executives. Further, as the determined formula for CI, as described on page 21, adjusts for certain non-core operational impact (eg, long-term care reserve changes, catastrophes under or over plan assumptions, limited partnership and common equity investment income under or over plan assumptions), the primary drivers of increased CI (and thus, increased Company performance) are underlying P&C combined ratio and P&C underwriting premium.
